Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Needle on Wasp!

Wasp Tergum was an armor created by Tang Sect after they were inspired by wasps. They stuck the thin and fine needles that had the effect of tearing through defenses into an armor to create something that had astonishing defense and could catch enemies off guard before they killed them.

It was a unique armor with hidden weapons and a very horrifying demon vessel.

“Aren’t you filled with gifts?”

When Happy noticed that Tang Feng did not just have Universe in Sleeves, Golden Bell Cocoon, the swallow and release style that was only passed down to certain people, but also Tang Sect’s unique armor, Wasp Tergum, even Happy could not help but feel a sense of helplessness and jealousy.

Earlier, he had felt a little proud that he had Golden Bell Cocoon, Phantasm Body Movement Skill, Ten True Dragon Styles, and third-echelon Clear Abyss. For a moment, he even felt a little regretful that he stood so far ahead of the others, but it showed up that he was not the only lucky child in the world. In fact, there were people who were even luckier than him.

Tang Feng’s equipment could no longer be described as amazing.

If they engaged in a direct battle, who could affect Tang Feng while he had his black sand and Hill Breaker Needles, one weapon that was used in the open and the other in secret? Besides, he also had a killing weapon that was bound to kill—Universe in Sleeves, while the safety of his back was handed over to Wasp Tergum.

Tang Feng could be considered to be a monster full of mechanisms and traps.

Happy could not win against him face to face, and even if he wanted to ambush him from the back, he could not do so.

If he was the slightest bit careless, he would end up dead.

Happy stopped one hundred and sixty-four feet away and stared at Tang Feng while frowning in a barely noticeable manner.

It had to be known that the shock Tang Feng felt did not lose out to that of Happy’s at all. It was especially so when he saw how Happy had beautifully avoided his continuous killing moves, which he had been certain were bound to kill. The other had dissolved his killing moves, and even his Wasp Tergum had not managed to injure Happy.

A storm raged in his heart after witnessing all that.

It had to be known that from the moment he shot up to the Dragon Rank, all the powerful players whom he considered as rivals could not retreat from his offense with their bodies intact. Most of them could not even live past his Hill Breaker Needles and black sand.

When he ran into the more troublesome ones, his Universe in Sleeves killed his enemies in one go, and there was not even a single bit of suspense in it!

Against Happy, it was the first time Tang Feng had revealed his Wasp Tergum to the world.

“You do live up to your name as the first on the Famous People Rank.”

Tang Feng sighed deeply with a great wave of emotion while his expression turned grave.

The Tang Sect disciples around him also had unprecedentedly grave expressions. The fight between the two might have been short, but the crazed and intense exchange of blows made everyone within a circular area of three hundred and twenty-eight feet to feel as if they were about to suffocate.

“Tang Sect’s hidden weapons also live up to their name of being unique. If I want to win against you, it seems like I will have to show all my abilities...”

Happy’s face was calm as water when he put away his Noble Sword into his Universe Bag right in front of countless people. Immediately after, as the sounds of people sucking in sharp breaths rose, a sword with three flowing streams of light and a threatening presence appeared!

Clear Abyss!

It was the first third-echelon sword that had shocked the world even though it had only appeared for a brief moment.

Tang Feng’s expression changed slightly, but he did not show any hint of surprise. Clearly, he had heard a long time ago about Happy obtaining Clear Abyss.

But Happy was not done yet.

He removed his blue robes to reveal a fitting set of black garments.

Clack!

A pair of sparkling golden gauntlets landed on Happy’s forearms in one familiar motion.

Next were the greaves and boots!

Happy’s expression was incredibly calm. The golden parts caused the stern and handsome young man to quickly appear cold and mighty. He looked like a robot.

When the most important part of them all, Golden Armor was placed on his body, it quickly connected to the other parts. When they covered his entire body, en even layer of metallic light flowed through all of his body, and he gave off the feeling that he could not be defeated.

Tang Feng sucked in a sharp breath, and his expression changed.

Golden Armor Set parts had appeared on the market before, and he had gone to investigate the set. Once it was formed, its might was equal to an entire set of demon vessels. The defense was astonishing, and its might even surpassed that of the threatening third-echelon Clear Abyss.

When Tang Feng saw that Happy actually had the full Golden Armor Set, he instantly felt miserable.

It could be said that the Golden Armor Set provided another Golden Bell Cocoon for Happy, and it could not be broken. With the protection provided by Golden Armor Set, even Universe in Sleeves and Hill Breaker Needles could not directly injure Happy.

If Tang Feng was a mechanism monster with lots of consumable hidden weapons, then at that moment, Happy was the epitome of a moving fortress. He was unbeatable at close-quarters combat!

All of Tang Feng and the Tang Sect disciples’ methods were useless in front of Happy.

If he wanted to, he could easily kill all the people in the area!

Black sand, Hill Breaker Needles, and Universe in Sleeves were all useless.

When Tang Feng saw it, he knew that his chances of stopping Happy from entering the royal mausoleum were reduced to zero. He quietly placed the two handfuls of black sand in his hands into the black pouch by his waist and spoke in a tone different from before.

“I lost.”

Happy was stunned.

He frowned and looked at Tang Feng before casting a glance at the Tang Sect disciples who had swiftly opened a path in the middle of the government-made road. He snorted coldly and tapped against the ground before swiftly heading to the royal mausoleum like a golden arrow. Even though Tang Feng left him in a very foul mood, there was not much time left until the royal mausoleum opened.

At that moment though, he really wanted to know just who had asked the people from Tang Sect to cause him trouble...

He was sure he would meet them in the royal mausoleum!

*****

Due to Happy’s presence, fewer good players persisted in coming to the royal mausoleum. In a few days, they were practically non-existent. Since they could not get anything good, it would be just a waste of time if they continued to come. Many people thus gave up on the royal mausoleum and searched for other places for adventure.

However, on that day, two groups had appeared at the royal mausoleum against everyone’s expectations.

Barren Murderer had brought a group of people from Class One Hall.

There were not many of them, only around thirty or so, but each one had a faint hint of purple and red metallic light flowing down their bodies. Their gazes were cold, and their presences extraordinary.

All of them had second-echelon equipment and weapons!

Wherever they looked, the murderous aura in their eyes was more than obvious. Many of the players who often appeared in the royal mausoleum felt danger from the Class One Hall members’ insanely powerful equipment and abilities. They retreated into the distance and decided to cancel their plans to challenge the royal mausoleum on that day.

“Vice Hall Master Barren, restrain your men. They look like devils and fiends. Look, you scared them away.”

The people who stood across Class One Hall came from Towering Palace. The person leading them was incredibly young, and he leaned against the entrance of the royal mausoleum in a very casual manner. When he swept his gaze over the people from Class One Hall, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

“They’re already keeping themselves in check. Those trash...” Barren Murderer snorted coldly. With a sour expression, he cast a glance at the person leading Towering Palace. “They had so many people around, and they let Happy occupy the royal mausoleum for a straight seven days. If the hall master didn’t ask me to act with a low profile, I’d kill all of them right now.”

There was a deep and aggressive killing intent in his voice!

“Tsk, tsk... your killing intent is leaking out...” The young man from Towering Palace treated Barren Murderer’s killing intent as if it was nonexistent and clicked his tongue in an exaggerated manner. “I wonder if you will remain as overbearing as you are right now when Happy arrives later, Vice Hall Master Barren.”

“Hai Dongqing! What are you trying to say?” Barren Murderer’s gaze was as cold as ice. “With Tang Feng’s abilities at seventh place of the Dragon Rank, do you think he won’t be able to hold Happy back?”

“Do you think he can?”

Loving Sword, Hai Dongqing, raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest, and the teasing look in his eyes mostly vanished.

All the people from Class One Hall seemed to have sensed it at the same time as well. They looked toward the bamboo forest, and their gazes froze. Their eyes were focused on the person who walked out of the bamboo forest and appeared in their field of vision.

Thud, thud...

Happy stepped on the sturdy ground, walking very slowly.

“Those Tang Sect disciples had received your instructions then.”

Happy enunciated each word clearly, the cold and indifferent words spilling out of his mouth without rush. Upon hearing them, the people from Class One Hall and Towering Palace felt suffocated. They also felt an invisible wave of pressure crash into them.
